I give us a D
We have room to grow and compete in this league, and there is talent on the roster. We weren’t ready for Florida State and got smacked. We won’t be favored in any SEC game on our schedule if execution doesn’t improve. If things do get better I think we can scrape together 7 wins and go to a Rebuild Bowl.

Ags have plenty of defense to make a run. Offensive line struggled to run vs Sam Houston... pretty much how we started off last year. 2 of our best oline starters were out so we will see what happens next week. Running game is a concern following last year.
If our line makes a big progress and we can establish the run then it will be easier to get a real read on King. I didn't like his passes... they seemed to float. Against SECw teams he probably would have had 2 more picks in first half. Yikes.
Our offense is a huge question mark for me right now.

And whatever that tackling too hard personal foul penalty was all about.

Figures we finally have the best QB in ages and our OL is folding like a lawn chair.

We lost by 1 and we got smacked okay.
Honestly I thought we performed good. We have some work to do for sure

Arkansas win vs. #23 Cincinnati
Satisfied.
Defense: With all starters on defense playing, pitched a shutout and created turnovers. With key starters out on defense, stayed in man and did not shutout but still caused turnovers. Got good to decent pressure on the QB playing against what is likely to be one of the top 2-3 OL’s Arkansas plays this season. 3 sacks, 8 TFL’s, and forced 2 TO’s. Landon Jackson probably looked the best of the front 7 transfers. Drew Sanders should contribute nicely as well.
Offense: Not much changed. Cincy took away the deep ball and tried to stack 6-7 in the box to stop the run. KJ went through his progressions nicely most of the day and was 18/26 with 3 TDs and 0 INTs. Rushed for over 200 yards and showed big play ability on the ground and in the air. Trey Knox May end up being one of the best TEs in the conference. Haselwood and Landers look to be threats at WR and had nice first games. Rocket Sanders averaged 5 ypc and hit 117 rushing yards. RB room should get Dominique Johnson back this week, which is the bruiser of the bunch.

Was impressed but got a few things to clean up. Damn sloppy tackling and penalties to name a few.

The good
Oline. Probably the best we’ve had in a decade
RBs. Very solid
QB special talent that must stay healthy
The bad
Wrs. We don’t have a guy that can stretch the field
The ugly
Defensive depth. The starters are SEC good but our backups are group of 5 level
9-3 is attainable but if anything happens to Richardson 5-7 is more than likely

The Air Raid is clicking. States going to put up a lot of points. States first team defense is elite. Big drop after that.
This. Signs pointed to this, but I had to see them actually execute. Was one of the first times I’ve seen the offense click that much.

Offensive line looked ok, run blocking left a little to be desired. Not as concerned about the pass rush as some of our fans. Ball state was getting the ball out the QBs hand pretty quickly. However, the back seven was not good. Jeremy Banks was running all over the place but didn’t contribute much if anything. Warren Burrell might be the worst starting corner in the league. The next three weeks will decide what kind of season UT has. They could be 4-0 or 2-2. If they’re 4-0, 10-2 isn’t out of the question. If they’re 2-2, 7-5 is on the table, which would be a massive disappointment.

We looked sound but it was a cream puff opponent. I’ll believe it when I see it (meaning we beat a bid dog).

Could have scored way more but played kind of conservative. Offense looked a little rusty to start, some throws into to the grass or a little off target. Good runs by Jefferson, but his willingness to drop his head and truck folks worries me a little.
Defense looked a little soft. D line gave up some runs and allowed some holes when it looked looked like they shouldn’t have. D backfield looks fragile, but solid when starters in.
Honestly, it looked like the Hogs we’re looking past Cincy a little.

I was impressed with our OL and RBs. Richardson is a beast.
The WRs aren’t anything special and I really expected more plays for the TEs.
I know it’s early and we’re not that deep into the playbook so there’s lots of things to build on.
Our Defense had a tough night vs a very good TE and a moble QB who just seem to find a lane to escape the rush every time we got close.
DL had its moments but needs consistency.
Our starting LBs are average, had a FR get some good snaps.
Secondary really wasn’t tested much as their best weapon was hit on shallow to mid range routes vs our LBs
Team fought hard and never seemed to lose focus. When they scored, we answered. Even after the fumble, they stayed positive.
Nice week 1 win vs a quality opponent. Ready for Kentucky

If Arkansas looked past Cincinnati then they would have lost.
